I am a 53 year old mother of 5 grown children. I have been married 31 years. I have struggled with my weight nearly all my life especially after having children. I managed to keep my weight in the 150's, which I was comfortable with, until 2008. Since then I have lost 2 brothers and a sister (who was my best friend) and quit smoking. I turned to food for comfort. I also went through menopause, so most of the weight settled around my middle.
I have recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure. I need to drop at least 20 pounds and exercise regularly.
I would love to have some buddies like myself to support and be supported by. We all need a little help now and then. We are on a lifetime journey, one day at a time. Some days we stumble. What matters is that we forgive ourselves and get up again. Try to enjoy life every day.
